Poll: should I stop (pretending to be) lifting weights and just give up?

[Deicide]

Not true, show me a recent thread where this is the case.

That's good.

I won't give up. I am not a quitter, never have been and as someone said, if I didn't lift at all I would look worse. Just got to keep on trying. I had some good lifts today.

Now that you appear to have some pep in your step, the question is what are your specific goals.

1) Where will you put your focus: Mass or Cuts?

2) What is your current height (you already mentioned your bodyweight, 176 lb).

3) What you do (reasonably) want your bodyweight to be in approximately three months (just in time for football season  )?

4) Your current diet/nutrition program: Number of meals, protein content, overall caloric intake.

5) Training frequency (example: Mine is 4 times a week, Upper Body - Monday and Thursday; Legs - Tuesday and Friday).

When you get those nailed down, you can plan accordingly and you're in business!! List them here and the GetBig brethren will help you out.

I want to lean out and slowly have been in fact. I want to see what I look like at 10% so that is my goal. I work out 3x a week and use HST because I have always had the best progress and strength maintenance and gains from it.

Today for example I did:

Dumbbell shoulder press x2
Weighted Pullups x2
Dumbbell chest press x2
Seated curls x2
Weighted Dips x2
Deadlifts x2
Bulgarian Split Squat x2
Weighted Crunches x2
Calf raises on stairs with extra weight x2

honestly its hard to not get down on your 'look' when you are so used to surfing bbing websites and all you see is the genetic pinnacle all the time enhanced by tons of drugs.

i passed a mirror just now in the bathroom -after browsing a thread with ronnie and gunter at a 2002 show- and as i glanced at the mirror i thought' god damn im narrow' and i looked like a tiny shit with no delts and i felt sad and inadequate. its just an illusion though, you cant compare yourself to these pro bber freaks in real life.

spot on, that's why you should compare yourself to yourself and also you shouldn't laugh about the fact that most people think Brad Pitt and David Beckham are huge muscular guys.

If you're not competing, 99% of the population will say you're very muscular when you look like this:

No one will believe me but people today were staring at me at my gym because I was doing dips with a 20kg dumbbell added. It's true people in the real world REALLy don't look like they work out at all.

when you're not on the internet, dips with 20kg added is pretty tough, on getbig people will laugh about you though.

What do think dips would be respectable with on getbig? 50kg? 100kg?

at least 100kg plus, if you count 10 reps or more.

a real getbigger wouldn't even start dipping without 200kg hanging from his erect penis.

[DK II]

Mean and lean...

and about 65kg i would dare to say.
